as Far as the opening goes I have to do sound for Luke Binoculars do you think if we cut from the planet surface to space instead of Panning down it would pan up from the planet to space?There is more tattooine planet matte painting to achieve this more than is shown in the film anyway.
Ronstar, what was you beginning with treadwell and luke and binocs going to be? or were you only going to have treadwell later and not in the beginning?
In my version, I was going to have an extra shot of the tantive and star destroyer above tantooine literly a top down shot and then the cut would be to surface where we see the sky w/very small blinks being the ships with the naked eye to tie them together and of course move right into luke at the vaporator scene so you get the idea that he is directly below and ties into what he sees the ships (more clearly) in the macrobinoculars. I am sure you can find some macrobiocular noise from somewhere else in the films and use that, but not sure where you need it?, do you plan to use it when he is looking at the ships?
I have sorted out somewhat the music and sound for an escape pod being destroyed before they are clamped in this was to go in the fanfare that plays on Star Destroyer coming over the tantive this also solves the “There goes another one” gunner line issue.
I had never thought of adding another escape pod that was not with R2 and 3PO as I just assumed they were others when they say the line “there goes another one”
I have a soundmix somewhat prepared for Tosche station scene where Luke runs into the bar.
I almost have this scene finished, but I keep moving to other things 😃 I might have just the interior first cut tomorrow. I had not thought far enough ahead yet as to music to put here, but interested in what you planned. I have seen a few other cuts where music was added but it was music as if they are listening to pre-recorded music inside (radio, playback, jukebox…whatever they would have inside)
I think the cut music from the radio drama when Han and Luke part ways at Yavin Base when they are loading boxes is possibly a music cue for Luke having the binoculars chucked at him
Interested in what you found here as well as I also have not finished this yet, also I plan to use the lines in the radio drama here where he mentions they are expensive when she throws them back. I am so close on just wrapping up these that I should just finish them…been working more on ESB deleted scenes as Adywan has a 1080P version of that and I could add and call it a version 1 well before getting ROJ and ANH.
I say this because it sounds very similar to the escape pod going towards Tattooine music cue but obviously this cue would then take us back up to the Tantive IV and captured princess Leia.
yes if it ties the scenes together I think it would be a good choice
I have a piece of music that I think will work well for the bar scene also.
Do mean inside the station? I never thought of it as a bar(it’s more of a garage and hangout in ANH I think (becomes a bar later I guess in book of Boba), but they do have drinks inside in ANH 😃…very interested in what you found for music (It needs something in that scene in the background but not over taking all the talking). So I had always thought that maybe they had music playing in the background which may be interesting and might be the way I take it not sure yet. I don’t like Jedi Rock as the jabba palace song and planned to use lapti nek in my ROJ version, but jedi rock in the background might work for the station since they are playing an arcade game and they are young…and the scene feels upbeat and very “music in a hangout place” …not sure yet
Do you have the extra shot where they leave the bar in your possession? from what I understand, it is quite low quality it’s not necessarily needed but it’s an extra shot…
Do you mean this one?
not sure if salvageable screenshot about as good as it would ever get unless they release better and need to have half of the image widen and this is the 340 x 600 never seen it larger
Do you think when Luke runs up the stairs towards the Bar we should see the escape pod in the sky?
3PO and R2s escape pod lands very very far from tosche/anchorhead if you look at the tatooine maps out there. If you have a pod falling in this scene? I would place it to let the viewing understood it is another pod (the other one when they say there goes another one). Not sure if the scene needs and seems like luke might notice it falling, but that might be ok and add to the scene…would have to see the FX completed to understand if it fits or would just be unneeded not sure. adding a compare clip from mine so far…
Here is my final go at the Vader Scene and I included the Treadwell being shot edit to show how I think it was meant to go also. I hope you like my final take on this 😃
I believe Luke and treadwell were meant for the beginning as in the novel and radio drama it is clear he is on the farm with them and sees the battle. I think its kind of where people expect it, but your take is artistic choice so I would say it’s what feels right to you. If you add there I would show additional shot of the homestead burning with a composited treadwell of center and some story troopers from some footage then treadwell getting shot so there is more context to where he is and what you are seein (that it is taking place miles away)
